Ververis Out To Runner Runner

After winning a preliminary event earlier this week, Jim Ververis was looking to make it trophy number two but it wasn't to be as he recently was sent to the rail.

Ververis raised to 24,000 from the button before being put all in by Trevor Henry from the big blind. Ververis hesitated before tossing in his last chips.

Ververis: {J-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Henry: {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}

Ververis would need help and that's exactly what he got when the flop landed {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} giving him the nut straight! But that's when things got even more weird. The turn was the {J-Clubs} and river the {10-Clubs} to give Henry a runner-runner king-high straight to send Ververis to the rail in dramatic fashion.
